Well, I've never had an Ipod, so I too don't really have much to compare against. But I'm not worried about having headphones jammed in my head the 18 hours I'm awake everyday! This is a good mp3 player! I didn't like the headphones that came with it so I went to walmart and bought some marshmellow soft ones. 20 bucks and make listening amazing! And you don't have to blare them or buy a booster because they block out sound quite well! Save your hearing...buy marshmellow earphones!

I'm happy with the amount of space in the 1GB drive. I recommend, as others did?, taking out the battery when not in use. For whatever reason the red LED light will somewhat flicker and flash for no apparent reason. I think it is supposed to do that whenever you push on the big play button (power) but when you just let it rest it will come on half-lit to full to off and repeat, etc. I don't think I read the directions but it definitely took me a little while to figure out how to play the music. Using the hold function also works well especially when riding a motorcycle...that and work were my reasons for buying this product and I'm happy with what I bought. Hope you will be too!

I read a lot of bad reviews before I bought it, but it works great. Sure if you dont know much about mp3 players it may take some getting used to but works great.

The device does not keep tracks in proper order. A new AAA battery will be drained when uploading music. A new AAA battery will be drained when left in the product overnight, in the off position.

Horrible costumer service. Just an email address, no phone contact. Looks like a shop out of someones NYC apartment.

Waste of money!

Honestly, I love this mp3 player. It was cheap and affordable and I got about a year and a half out of it. The only reason it didn't last longer was because I dropped it and ran over it, so really it was my fault. Even after all that abuse though it still works and plays as well as it did the first day I had it. The only reason I don't use it still is because I can't see the screen all that well now and the battery back is still in DC. >_>'

Anyway, this thing, if treated well, is very durable. The cap over the USB drive at the end was gone within the first week, but I also have a bad habit of playing with it.

The navigation is a little annoying at times, but really, its not that hard to get used to. Actually, what irks me more is that the volume screen won't disappear fast enough. The time between switching songs is a little slow, but its not that bad. The toggle switch you just have to be firm with. Pay attention to what you're doing when you're playing with it and you should be fine.

Battery life was fine with me. I got roughly 10 hours or more out of it, though I never really timed it.

Honestly, this would be what you get a teenager who's good with technology. If you get irritated with technology easily, then you'll probably just get mad. I love mine though, its small, easy to handle and use. You don't need a lot of extra software and plays anything that windows media player will.

The thing that I'll miss the most is the little dog chasing the 'Bye-Bye' when you shut it down.

By the way, the brand is DIGITAL. Took me a while to figure that one out. xD

Everything on it works well but the voice recorder sound pickup and the earphones. To pick up sound you'll want to hold it quite close to the source or else it will be a very faint recording. And the earphones would make knocking noises when jogging with it. Otherwise it's a great unit.
